I have an Unlocked LG G3 VS985. I have been successful rooting it, but then I restart the phone and it does not stay rooted. It's running Android M 6.0
Software version: VS98547A
Someone please help me out.

I flashed to 47A and lost root also (from 46A). I read perhaps going all the way back to 10b and then going to 47A from there may keep root. So I tried doing this today (link above) - but instead of flashing what the author recommended, i flashed another rom (aospa 6.0.1); i had root until flashing the rom, but couldn't find a way to keep it, again.
It may work if you flash the stock 47A rom the author provides. I'm not gonna try it again, though. I'll wait until there's stump root like apk that can do it for 47A.

Hi, so I while back I rooted my AT&T LG G3 (d850) and decided to unroot so I could get the lollipop update whenever that was going to be released. I completely reset it back to it's stock firmware and everything. After so many months of waiting for lollipop, I got fed up with it and decided I would try flashing a lollipop rom, but when I tried to root my phone with towel root and stump root, both of them said my device wasn't supported. Could anyone tell me why this might be? I was all ready to go, but for some reason I can't re-root even though it's basically a brand new phone.

You can't root lollipop as of yet. The only way to root is to downgrade to Kitkat.

Try purpledrake, that should work if you haven't taken any otas. If that doesn't work you will have to do as mentioned and flash previous software with the flashtool.
Thank you to everyone that helped! I figured out my problem. AT&T rolled out an OTA update which changed my build number from 10d to 10f. I just downgraded my firmware and was able to root. I'm successfully running CM12 now!
So, I want to root my LG G3 so that I can install Cyanogenmod 12 on it. But the rooting methods online don't seem to work. My phone is running official Android Lollipop (5.0). It was a OTA update. Is it because I updated over the air that I'm not able to root it or something else? Please help me. Thanks.

You really need to search the forum before posting, theres been loads of threads about this, there is no root method currently for lollipop on the lg g3, you have to downgrade to kitkat using one if the firmware files, root kitkat with available methods, install custom recovery and then flash whichever rom you would like.
I see there are several methods our there for unrooting and rooting the lg g3 but I noticed that they say only for lollipop or for kitkatt and lollipop. Does this matter if I'm currently on 6.0? Want to be sure before I do something critical and then regret it. What is the most up to date process you guys are using? I want to unroot and default back to the stock g3 rom to then reroot my device and flash a 6.0 custom rom completely fresh.
I used to use the following method but it started giving me issues. I then found out that it was because it was outdated.

Bump
the All time and Best one to un root is 'LG Support tool'
install this and open it
in options click on 'update recovery'... thats it u wil be unrooted successfull without any isssues....
hey all-
received a replacement D851 that unfortunately has stock OTA T-Mob MM already onboard(30D). How can I roll this back to something useful? I understand this 'Kingroot' app provides temp root until reboot so I could use that to shoehorn in a recovery, but there are plenty of comments about it cloning your phone to China. I did try running it offline and first thing it does is try to contact a remote server -to 'determine best rooting method'.. suuure. [Uninstall]
So which tool will be the simplest to let me rollback to KK or LP so I can install recovery and root properly? I have a TOT file already so what is the simplest method to flash it as of July 2016?
Hi,
I've recently decided to root my lg g3 but all methods I found on xda didn't work (king/kingoroot, towelroot, purpledrake, etc.).
My phone model is d855 running android marshmallow update v30b-260-06.
Also i'd like to install custom rom with nougat with good battery life and stability(and root of course).
I know how to flash roms but i can't root my device to install twrp.
Ask if you need any further information about my phone.
Same here i changed my phone motherboad here in. India now kingroot 4.5.6 not rooting this board.
So first i downgrade to kitkate than root easily
U can try it too.
